‘They will never make a machine to replace the human mind – it does many things which no machine could ever do.’ A beautiful answer to this was given by J. von Neumann in a talk on computers given in Princeton in 1948, which the writer was privileged to attend. In reply to the canonical question from the audience (‘But of course, a mere machine can’t really think, can it?’), he said: You insist that there is something a machine cannot do. If you will tell me precisely what it is that a machine cannot do, then I can always make a machine which will do just that!

While numerous factors have been proposed to account for a vulnerable infant, the most compelling hypothesis is that SIDS reflects a delayed development of “arousal” and cardiorespiratory control

be described) and the geographic locale. Most infants who die of SIDS die at home, usually during the night after a period of sleep. For many years, prolonged apnea was considered to be a risk factor for SIDS. Infants who devel- oped a so-called “apparent life-threatening event” (ALTE), characterized by some combination of apnea, marked change in color or muscle tone, choking or gagging, were considered at risk for subsequent SIDS. However, epidemiologic studies have demonstrated that these “life- threatening events” and SIDS have different risk factors and ages of onset, and are probably unrelated entities. Children experiencing ALTEs are often premature or have a mechanical basis for respiratory compromise. This dis- tinction might explain why home apnea monitors, which have proliferated among American families for “SIDS pre- vention,” have had minimal impact on reducing the risk of SIDS
